Lilacs

After falling down again, going outside was the quickest way to distracting him. Right out of the door I could catch a lovely perfume in the air. We followed it to the lilac bushes covered in blossoms. The ground under the bushes is spongy and covered in soft green moss. We could not resist the pull and we each reached out to touch the delicate flowers. With tragedy long forgotten we picked a spray or two for big sister. We knew she would love them best. The two of us returned bearing gifts and a sunny, warm, peace to share with those we loved best.

Team Daddy Fit-it Crew

Mr fix-it has taken in a new apprentice, mr fix-it jr. There are lessons on circuits and resistors as well as static electricity and holding techniques. Mr Fix-it has an avid pupil in his new apprentice, who shows much promise. Any puzzle they can solve if they put their heads together.

Cleaning

Getting some change to jingle in your pocket might bring you to work.  Elowyn took Julie into the bathroom and gave her a tour of her deeds.  "I cleaned this, and I cleaned this, and I cleaned this, and I cleaned this.". We don't usually pay when people do work without our agreement before hand, but she's too cute.  Julie gave her seven cents, and she was happy as a clam.  She just had to put the towel away.

Three times around the post should hold it.

Taking a Break

Weeding can be very tiring, especially when you are three. Time passes much better when lying in the clover singing songs and watching the clouds roll by as the wind whips hair in your face. 

The lovely voice in song did help the work pass quickly.  Blueberry Hill has fewer weeds now. 

Drums

We didn't know we bought a drum. It was supposed to be for jumping exercises. Now it is a gathering place for drummers of all ages and creeds to play out their rhythms. Started by the youngest and most zealous, the others have happily joined. There is something about a drum beat and a marching song that is irresistible.

Feast upon the scriptures

This is Wade's Cub Scout cake. Yes, it is a cake. Ignore the background, that's just me being creative.

Work Is Fun

It was a sunny warmish day. I wanted to get some rocks moved and I had two excited workers.

Can you believe their luck they get to move rocks!

We shoveled and we hauled, uphill both ways, and we raked. We found time to sit and dump rocks out of our boots and time to run up and down the rock hill as well as hide in the rock canyon. The wind blew our hair, we burned calories and we worked on a little muscle.

Saturday is family work day and it is usually a really fun day for everyone. Today was just that.
